The wait time for the claim…

The wait time for the claim reimbursement took a little longer than it should have but overall I am satisfied with the claim and my reimbursement.

1000% Recommend!

I am absolutely satisfied with Pets Best pet insurance, especially their claim process. This is our second pup with this insurance company and I have yet to have any issues. The process is very simple and they are quick to process the claims. I’ve done everything through the app with no issues. I highly recommend Pets Best, not only for their claims process but coverage and affordability. I love knowing that our Chloe girl is fully covered.

Slow and unprofessional. Avoid.

Slow, misleading, poor communication.

Go somewhere else

I have had a policy for over a year. Every claim has been denied. When I inquire as to why they reply that they needed more info and had contacted my vet NUMEROUS times with no result. My vet told me they had only one request when I first took out the policy but nothing since then. When I filled out a survey they asked about any concerns. I asked why they did not contact me if they had no success reaching my vet - no response. This is unacceptable. My claims are for meds that they say are covered, They also claim that only 10% of claims need more info from vet. I have wasted over $800. I wonder if they will contact me after this review?
